WISH TREE

WISH TREE by YOKO ONO

Our Highschool has many wishes.

This tree is based on a participatory work belonging to a series that the artist Yoko Ono began in 1996, whose origin lies in a Japanese tradition that consists of hanging prayers from a bush, tree or bamboo. In this work, the artist invites visitors to write their wishes for "peace" and hang them from the tree.

Make a wish! 

GREETINGS CARD CONTEST 2020

 GREETINGS CARD CONTEST 2020

This year the Christmas Postcards contest was held again with a great display of creativity and great participation from all the students. It has been a different year, a different Christmas, and that is why we have also decided to do something different, giving in addition to the prize for the winning postcard and the prizes per category, one more prize per category. Here is the magnificent display of creativity:

After a thoughtful and difficult selection, here are the winners:

FINALISTS CATEGORY A

FINALISTS CATEGORY B

UNIT 6: RADIAL DESIGN MANDALA

NEXT CHALLANCE: RADIAL DESIGN MANDALA

Lets pratice the Geometrical Constructions we have learnt by designing our own MANDALA. Although the presentation indicates you should draw a 12 section radial mandala, 6, 8 or 16 sections mandalas are also allowed. The most important THE GEOMETRY. You will divide the circumference in equal parts in order to create your mandala as the examples on these videos and presentation. 

UNIT 6: REGULAR POLYGONS

This term we will continue with GEOMETRY by designing a beautiful mandala. But first we will check our knowledge about regular polygons. Here is a few videos to help us.

 REGULAR POLYGONS AND ORIGAMI




I found a very interesting page to revise and check your knowledge of the Basic Geometry Terms with pictures. Check it out!

Here is another link  to go over "the basics of geometry", some of them we have already seen before.

UNIT 6: THE CIRCUMFERENCE AND THE CIRCLE

Circumference

The circumference is the outline of a circle.

Circle

A circle is a flat shape made by drawing a curve that is always at the same distance from the centre. 

 

The Radius is the distance from the center to the edge.
The Diameter starts at one side of the circle, goes through the center and ends on the other side.
The Circumference is the distance around the edge of the circle, that is the outline of the circle

Note that the Diameter is twice the Radius:

Diameter = 2 × Radius

Lines

A line that goes from one point to another on the circle's circumference is called a Chord.
If that line passes through the center it is called a Diameter.
A line that "just touches" the circle as it passes by is called a Tangent.
A line that intersects the circle is called intersecting or secant line.
And a part of the circumference is called an Arc.

 Slices

There are two main "slices" of a circle. The "pizza" slice is called a sector. And the slice made by a chord is called a segment.

Common Sectors

The Quadrant and Semicircle are two special types of Sector:

	Quarter of a circle is called a Quadrant.             Half a circle is called a Semicircle.
